MERRY CHRISTMAS round a snowflake: emboss your Christmas cards, tags and envelopes.
A round Christmas seal: MERRY over the top, CHRISTMAS under the bottom, a six-armed snowflake in the middle and a small star either side. Emboss home-made Christmas cards, gift tags, envelopes and the paper you wrap small presents in. It is a quick print, so it is ready for the card season well before December.
Made with our free paper embosser maker, not modelled by hand: we drew the picture in code, uploaded it and set a 60 by 60 mm plate; the page traced it into the raised die and cut the matching cavity into the other plate. It prints as ONE part: the male die with the raised design and the female die with the matching cavity, joined by a print-in-place hinge, flat and open on the bed with no supports. Fold it shut over a card and squeeze. The design is 45 by 45 mm with a 1 mm relief. The zip holds exactly what the tool gives you, as an STL and as a 3MF with the relief as its own coloured part, plus the picture, to change and upload again.
Shown as a 3D render of the printed embosser and a card embossed with its mark, not a photo.

Print it as exported, flat and open like a book, no supports.
Once it has cooled, fold the hinge shut and open a few times to free the pin.
Slide the card between the plates as far as the spot you want to emboss.
Close the embosser and squeeze firmly for a second, then open it and slide the card out.
For a mark that stands out, rub a little white or gold ink over the raised side.

Yes, on the flap or a front corner the jaws can reach. Envelope paper is thinner than card, so press gently: a light squeeze gives a clean snowflake, a hard one can tear the paper at the finest points.
Yes. Rub a little white or gold ink, or embossing powder, over the raised side after pressing, or sponge colour on through a stencil. A dark red or green card with no colour at all also looks good, the relief shows in the light.
About 35 minutes and 18 g of PLA on a current printer at 0.2 mm layers, as one print-in-place part. The time is estimated from the files, not sliced; at 0.12 mm layers for the crispest design it takes about half as long again.
